CELEBRATING SUE ELDERT

FLOWERS FROM THE BGFM FIELD
A TRIBUTE TO SUE ELDERT

On Sunday morning, September 21st, Sue Eldert was taken home to be with her Lord Jesus. Sue battled cancer for 7 years. Her first 4 years of treatments were done in Brazil and the last 3 years in North Carolina, close to her three daughters who cared for her together with Sue's husband Dave. She suffered much, especially during the last 5 weeks. All who were close to her prayed for her speedy departure. These few and delicate flowers are a humble expression of tender love from Sue's Collegues in Brazil. She will be deeply missed by all who were privileged to have known her and especially by those who served beside her.

MK GATHERING AFTER LUNCH ON SUE'S DAY

Nearly 20 MK's and about the same number of Retired & Active missionaries were present at Sue Eldert's Celebration Service on September 25th. After the grave side prayer, many returned to Grace Baptist for a "southern" lunch served by the dear ladies gifted for just such a moment. Thirteen BGFMer MK's, plus an honorary Jeff Reiner, gathered for a once in a life time photo. Everbody's only regret was that Sue couldn't be there. Our prayers are lifted for Dave Eldert and his four grown children, Kathleen, Paulette, Andrew and Regina (and their families).
